Dear Mr. Morisi:
We have completed our review of your letter regarding the Pilgrim Nuclear Power Station Breakwater Continuous Monitoring Program (BECo. ltr. # 80-311, December 5, 1980). In your letter you took exception to our request that you include the results of this program in the reporting requirements of the facility Technical Specifications. We have determined that an acceptable resolution of this matter, on our part, is offered in the attached marked-up If this resolution is acceptable to copy of /_ttachment A to your letter.
you, resubmit the Attachment with the changes and we will consider our action on this issue completed.
Thank you for your cooperation in this regard.

Attachment A Breakwater Continuous Monitoring Program Description Photographs will be taken of points along the breakwater from permanently These photographs will affim the
' established benchmarks on the shoreline.
position of each visible lee side stone.
On an annual basis, af ter the winter stom season (on or closely following Acril 1), a complete set of photographs will be taken from the existing photo points on the shoreline. These photographs will be compared to the originals
- to detect any major damage or movement.
In addition, aerial photographs will be taken at the same scale as the ones that were included in BECo's April 10, 1980 response to the NRC's questions concerning the breakwater.
A comparison similar to that described above will be perfomed with these.
If any major damaae to the breakwater is identified, the Nuclear Reoulatory Cx=ission, includino soecifically tne NRR Project Manaaer and /or-the Chief of the I hycrolocic and Geotecnnical Encineerinc Branch, shall be immediately noti'ied.
2 Recairs will be mace as soon as oossibie and must be comoleted before the

Upon identification of any damage to the breakwater, the NRC Project Manager and!

' Underlined sections are NRC Staff modifications, the bases for. which are contained in Attacfraent B.
Attachment B Bases for NRC Modification to the Breakwater Continuous Monitoring Program Description 1.
The cognizant staff in NRC must be made aware of damage to the breakwater as soon as possible because of potential plant safety implications.
2.
App',1 cant must commit to correct the damage in a timely manner such that repairs are canpleted before the next period of potential storm attack.
3.
Original criteria proposed by applicant was too severe. Under their proposed criteria several storms that are known to have caused breakwater damage may not have initiated a survey.
4, 5, 6.
Similar to 1 7.
There should be documentation of surveys and repairs. The annual report is a convenient vehicle for such documentation.
